Teaching Schedule of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Is The World, As We See It, Real?

Date:

9 - 10 May 2015

At:

Singapore

Rinpoche will be giving a series of three talks on this topic. The gap between what we perceive and what is real has long concerned philosophers, scientists, meditators, and all who question the meaning of life. The way we usually see and think about life events, relationships and possessions arises from subtle misconceptions and misunderstandings that generate tremendous problems and suffering. Seeing the root of our ignorance clearly empowers us to break free from painful habits and to taste true freedom.

This program is jointly organized by NUS Buddhist Society and Siddhartha's Intent.
